This is the traditional, not too tight, not too baggy fit. Jackets and pants have room for layering without being very baggy when not wearing many layers. It has standard inseams with straight legs on pants.

This jacket has a great fit and features in the right places. It includes the ever-necessary pit zips, two pockets on the front and one chest pocket. The jacket itself is lightweight, stylish and has enough room to stuff an extra layer underneath if need be.

The best thing about this jacket is the fact that I don't have to worry on a rainy day. Given it's so lightweight, I pack it along for every adventure and pull it out when I need it - from errand-running to hiking, biking and camping!

The stretch version of the Torrentshell makes it a bit less stuff than the original version, without compromising fit or feature functionality. I highly recommend this piece for all outdoor enthusiasts!

I am normally a size small/ medium but had to go with the large so I could fit a warming layer underneath if necessary. I searched everywhere for a red raincoat with a chest pocket and zippered side pockets and found this. I love the bright color- easy to spot if lost in the mountains. The material feels durable yet breathable which helps when you live on a hot tropical island. (Though I will be traveling with it and using it in the Rockies too)I have not used it in a downpour yet. I love the color, fit, design, material and weight of the jacket.
